At 20 Million Views, ‘Call Of Duty’ Trailer Tops YouTube’s Leaderboard

At 20 Million Views, ‘Call Of Duty’ Trailer Tops YouTube’s Leaderboard

YouTube has released the latest edition of its quarterly Trailer Leaderboard, and a popular video game series sits at the top. The launch trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare notched close to 21 million views between April and June, outpacing the next-most popular trailer by nearly three million views.

Call of Duty has always been a favorite of the YouTube gaming community, so Advanced Warfare‘s position in the Trailer Leaderboard is no surprise. A trailer for Mortal Kombat X also had a big Q2, scoring more than 10 million views and the #3 spot. This contrasts sharply with the Q1 Trailer Leaderboard, where just one video game made the top ten. This trend can be partially traced to E3; the biggest event on the video game industry’s calendar takes place each June.

In general, this edition of the Trailer Leaderboard saw smaller view counts than the Q1 edition, a decrease that can be traced to Q2’s relative lack of blockbuster movie trailers. Seven trailers surpassed 10 million views in Q1, but only one–the third trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past, which scored more than 18 million views–reached that mark in Q2. Next quarter, more trailers will arrive for big-budget holiday movies, which should push the average view count back up. For instance, a new teaser for Mockingjay has already drawn nearly 10 million views in just two days.

Here is a chart displaying the top 10 trailers in this quarter’s leaderboard:
